We consider Dirac operators on odd-dimensional compact spin manifolds which are twisted by a product bundle. We show that the space of connections on the twisting bundle which yield an invertible operator has infinitely many connected…
Generalizing some results from R. Leung's thesis, we compute, in rational cohomology, the Poincare dual of the degeneracy locus of the family of Dirac operators parameterized by the moduli space of projectively anti-self-dual $\SO(3)$…
Some meson correlation functions have a large contribution from the low lying eigenmodes of the Dirac operator. The contribution of these eigenmodes can be averaged over all positions of the source. This can improve the signal in these…
In this paper we present a summarizing description of the connection between Dirac operators on conformally flat manifolds and automorphic forms based on a series of joint work with John Ryan over the last fifteen years. We also outline…
Theoretical investigations of dynamical behavior in optical parametric oscillators (OPO) have generally assumed that the cavity detunings of the interacting fields are controllable parameters. However, OPOs are known to experience mode…
For a finite rank projective bundle over a compact manifold, so associated to a torsion, Dixmier-Douady, 3-class, w, on the manifold, we define the ring of differential operators `acting on sections of the projective bundle' in a formal…
The 1D Kitaev model in the topological phase, with open boundary conditions, hosts strong Majorana zero modes. These are fermion parity-odd operators that almost commute with the Hamiltonian and manifest in long coherence times for edge…
In this study we, remembering the experience with topological Dirac variables in the non-Abelian Yang-Mills-Higgs (YMH) model with vacuuum BPS monopole solutions, attempt to construct similar for the Abelian $U(1)$ model. We show that QED,…
We investigate the general properties of the dimensional reduction of the Dirac theory, formulated in a Minkowski spacetime with an arbitrary number of spatial dimensions. This is done by applying Hadamard's method of descent, which…
The one-dimensional Dirac operator with periodic potential $V=\begin{pmatrix} 0 & \mathcal{P}(x) \\ \mathcal{Q}(x) & 0 \end{pmatrix}$, where $\mathcal{P},\mathcal{Q}\in L^2([0,\pi])$ subject to periodic, antiperiodic or a general strictly…
We obtain the spectrum of the Dirac operator on the three-dimensional Heisenberg nilmanifold $\mathcal{M}_3$, and its complete dependence on the metric moduli. As an application, we construct the four-dimensional low-energy effective action…
We study geometric properties of varieties associated with invariant subspaces of nilpotent operators. There are reductive algebraic groups acting on these varieties. We give dimensions of orbits of these actions. Moreover, a combinatorial…
In this paper we show how to construct a Dirac operator on a lattice in complete analogy with the continuum. In fact we consider a more general problem, that is, the Dirac operator over an abelian finite group (for which a lattice is a…
The aim of this paper is to study the existence of eigenvalues in the gap of the essential spectrum of the one-dimensional Dirac operator in the presence of a bounded potential. We employ a generalized variational principle to prove…
We derive a general obstruction to the existence of Riemannian metrics of positive scalar curvature on closed spin manifolds in terms of hypersurfaces of codimension two. The proof is based on coarse index theory for Dirac operators that…
We discuss fermionic zero modes in the two-dimensional chiral p-wave superconductors. We show quite generally, that without fine-tuning, in a macroscopic sample there is only one or zero of such Majorana-fermion modes depending only on…
Fundamental solutions of Dirac type operators are introduced for a class of conformally flat manifolds. This class consists of manifolds obtained by factoring out the upper half-space of $\mathbb{R}^n$ by arithmetic subgroups of generalized…
At the interface between two massless Dirac models with opposite helicity a paradoxical situation arises: A transversally impinging electron can seemingly neither be transmitted nor reflected, due to the locking between spin and momentum.…
We develop a new method which extends Dynamic Mode Decomposition (DMD) to incorporate the effect of control to extract low-order models from high-dimensional, complex systems. DMD finds spatial-temporal coherent modes, connects local-linear…
We give more details about an integrable system in which the Dirac operator D=d+d^* on a finite simple graph G or Riemannian manifold M is deformed using a Hamiltonian system D'=[B,h(D)] with B=d-d^* + i b. The deformed operator D(t) = d(t)…
